Nearly 92 meters (100 yards) wide and 36.5 meters (40 yards) deep and featuring a large trampoline raft just off shore, the resort's beach includes thatched shades and lounge chairs. A 4-story self-serve elevator connects the beach to the resort's upper levels. The 5 outdoor pools include a main pool with a swim-up bar and a tiered tile waterfall. A second, free-form pool features 2 water slides, 1 straight and the other a spiral. The 2 spa tubs can accommodate up to 12 people.

After a $3 million expansion in September 2007 to the resort's existing water playground, the expanded, 2,500 square-meter (27,000-square-foot) Pirate's Island Water Park features 11 slides and water features for the entire family. There are 6 children's slides and a Treasure Isle play area, complete with water cannons and a treasure chest. For the resort's youngest guests, a kids' zone and zero-entry children's pool complete with a misting crab, a squirting sea turtle, and a splashing seahorse are available. The Water Park also features a tube slide, a body slide, and a speed slide. A water crawl play structure, complete with sea creature-themed stepping stones made from soft-play resilient foam is on site.
